Products manufactured using automated lines should have sufficiently large production volumes; product design and processes should be advanced, stable, and reliable, and remain essentially unchanged over a relatively long period.
In mass production, the use of automated lines can improve labor productivity, stabilize and improve product quality, improve working conditions, reduce production floor space, lower production costs, shorten production cycles, ensure production balance, and generate significant economic benefits.
Automated production lines operate or are controlled automatically according to prescribed procedures or instructions without human intervention. Their goal is "stability, accuracy, and speed."
Automation technology is widely used in industry, agriculture, military, scientific research, transportation, commerce, medicine, services, and households.
The use of automated production lines not only liberates people from heavy physical labor, some mental labor, and harsh or dangerous working environments, but also expands human organ functions, greatly improves labor productivity, and enhances humanity's ability to understand and transform the world.
